Why are you talking about login?

You should run the script on one fo the DCs formt he command line. This script has nothign to do with login script. It's a one-time-only script.

It will set the login script for all users in OU=Test.

Thus set the login script to soemthign and check after running the script whether it has changed.

Oh Oh now I get it. Geez I feel dumb, now I get it. Okay I will run that on the Sussex1 DC.
Do you think from what you can tell that I have that syntax right or is there anything missing on that code?

In general, it does look okay to me. Also, it's always good to first test a script before letting it out into the wild.

You must run it under an account that has aD amdin privileges. Also, change the code to:
code:
Break ON
; uncomment the next lien to step through the code
; DEBUG ON
; Example of LDAP call. GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection. You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=Test,dc=sussexcounty,dc=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
; $user.loginscript=$loginscript ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
; $user.SetInfo ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
EndIf
Next

to provide mote insight into what's happening.

Do I need the Users and Test OU's listed?

Yes, you must define the OU that the script applies to. Give it a try, check the error messages and report back.

I run it from my workstation i get "there is no such object on the server".

Plus do I call this from a batch file because the DC isn't going to know what to do with a kix file.

Then it seems that you don't have the correct OUs specified.

But they are the names of the OU's.
I am looking at it in AD

Here is the heirarchy structure:

sussexcounty.net
->AdminBldg
->Information Systems
-> Test

You can use the TranslateName() UDF and a @ldomain\@userid to return the distinguished name. From that you simply remove the CN=userid, and have the DN for the OU.

I added the UDF to my script to run first but I am not sure what needs to be changed to conform to my domain. So the syntax is correct.

Use TranslateName() and post the string you get. I'm sure we can then tell you what parts you need to write where.

Take a look at the FAQ Forum if you want to know 'How To Use UDFs'.

The use of the TranslateName UDF would be just to get the DN of one of your users since it appears that based on a previous post you could not find the user's OU.

Use this example:
code:
$DN = TranslateName (3, "", 3, "@LDomain\@userid", 1)
? "DN = " + $DN[0]
? "Error = " + $DN[1]
? "ErrorText = " + $DN[2]

I also added that example and I get this now.

L : 0 = -2147016656 - There is no such object on the server. -- Extended Error:
ssexcounty,DC=net. Montgomery,OU=Users,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=su
Error = 0
ErrorText = The operation completed successfully.

What is the OS of your computer where you are running the script? What was the script use executed?

Have you tried the WinNT:// provider?

Please only run the example posted. What is the result? Please post your test script as well.

I am running this script from the Kixscript Editor. Should I be running this from a batch file? If so what needs to go in it. I have tried creating a ldap.bat that has
Kix32.exe ldap.kix and it doesn't run, it says unable to find/open script.

Man this is confusing. I thought this was easier.

It would be easy if you would read the manual and the FAQ Forum. You also seem to have only minimal administrative experience which also doesn't help.

Create a folder and put the KiXtart executable and the script into it. Edit the script in Notepad. open a command prompt and switch into the directory that contains your script and the Kixtart executable.

Run the script by typing 'kix32 ldap.kix' at the command prompt. Also, please post the script you're using (in between [CODE] tags).
